Turns out "climbing the ladder" at a lot of companies still runs on vibes, unwritten rules, and knowing a guy named Jeff from your last job - and this panel isn't afraid to say so.
Victoria Anthony, Group Human Resources Director at Hill Group UK, One Dagun, Director, Talent and Succession Management at Standard Chartered and Hendrix Timu, Global Head - Learning & Development, Experience Design at JPMorgan Chase, trade war stories on why CVs are a terrible proxy for talent, why onboarding shouldn't end after week two, and why "resilience" isn't something you can put on a job spec - but you can absolutely test for it.
Along the way: skills-based hiring versus role-based hiring, internal talent marketplaces that let someone in Ghana get scouted for a project in Singapore, and a refreshingly honest take on why sometimes the kindest thing a manager can do is tell someone, gently, that they're just in the wrong job. It's part confessional, part practical playbook, and a genuinely fun listen for anyone who's ever wondered why career progression can feel like a secret club.
